From a Gold Star Mom

Time Warp

well, on another mission today....after this one , I wont know whats next all I know is the "merry go round" feeling that was created 6 years ago & wound up at top speed 4 years ago..is feeling like its approaching a speed bump of time... everything I have experienced my last 6 years...has been simply like being stuck in a time warp. of sorts.. Its so obvious why its so tough to sort through the... memories that have been created by soldiers angels..other gold star Mothers & church groups that reach out & have made beautiful comfort quilts.. & send cards long after the day of January 16th.....I have carefully placed so many special things & stuff into tote boxes..it has taken 6 big tote boxes to hold , anything from quilts to the 8x10 photos that my sister had made & placed everywhere around the house to make John's presence be felt..its been a story unfolding day by day... time.......its what happens as we sit here ....its what happens as we wake up every morning, its what happens when we , hug our grand babies, its what happens when we see another senior class about to embark on their stories of life,..... time .....its something that happens as we tuck away things for keeping..some would call it clutter... I know I do...but its precious clutter.... all these things we all call clutter have been what makes up time........I guess life is just one big time warp......as you approach your " speed bumps of your merry go round" May you always look back & say you enjoyed your ride......time .....& its sometimes a good feeling too know what the difference between precious clutter & just clutter..♥
